"I didn't expect that after dealing with the Singer, two more troublesome fellows would appear... I wonder how many more capable individuals are under the 'Brain's' command," Bai Lan sighed, still feeling a lingering fear from the power of the mysterious sharp obelisk.
"Lan'er, you shouldn't call the Singer by her title directly anymore. Previously, she was entangled by Tian Ji and had no time to deal with us. Now that she has lost two personalities in succession, although she is severely weakened, she is definitely filled with immense resentment. If she starts asking 'them' for help, it will be a problem for us," Ye Ling cautioned.
"Oh, then your disciple won't mention it," Bai Lan obediently nodded, no longer speaking of the Singer's name. "Shall we go to the Extreme Martial Domain now?"
"Mmm... Let's depart. Tian Ji suffered a setback this time, and he's likely targeting the Primal Martial King as well. We need to get there before him and secure the Primal Martial King."
After absorbing the Primal Time-Space King, Ye Ling had already realized that the Primal Upper Three Kings would provide him with immense augmentation. Missing even one of them was an unacceptable loss.
After erasing their traces, Ye Ling, with Bai Lan in tow, set off for the Extreme Martial Domain.
Meanwhile, Tian Ji, shrouded in crimson garbled code, hovered in the Primal Chaos Storm, his face extremely grim.
"Damn Ye Ling... his strength is growing stronger and stronger. If he's allowed to continue absorbing the Primal Kings, I'm afraid no one in the Primal Chaos will be able to control him anymore..."
"Ye Ling will definitely head to the Extreme Martial Domain next to seek the Primal Martial King. However, after escaping his seal, the Primal Martial King has gone into hiding. Unless he wishes to reveal himself, Ye Ling won't be able to find him in a short period."
"With my current strength, confronting Ye Ling head-on in the Extreme Martial Domain is extremely unwise. It seems I must first absorb the Primal Soul King before heading to the Extreme Martial Domain. This way, I can both hinder Ye Ling's growth and become stronger myself!"
Tian Ji made up his mind, abandoning the idea of going to the Extreme Martial Domain and instead heading towards the Overseers' base, planning to find an opportunity to absorb the Primal Soul King.
As the foremost of the Primal Seven Pillars under the 'Brain,' Tian Ji was very familiar with the structure of the headquarters. Moreover, he had confidantes within the Overseer faction. While infiltrating to absorb the Primal Soul King would be challenging, it was not impossible.
Thus, Ye Ling and Tian Ji, each targeting an ancient king, set off in different directions, stirring up different waves of events.
...
The Extreme Martial Domain.
Similar to the Time-Void Realm, the Extreme Martial Domain was an extremely vast continent. The difference was... the outer perimeter of the Extreme Martial Domain was protected by a powerful barrier, separating the inside from the outside.
Overseers from the outside could not infiltrate the Extreme Martial Domain, and the powerhouses within the Extreme Martial Domain could never shatter the void and arrive in the Primal Chaos.
Although the barrier outside the Extreme Martial Domain protected its inhabitants from enslavement by the Overseers, it was precisely because of this barrier that the powerhouses within the Extreme Martial Domain, who pursued the pinnacle of martial arts, could never leave the Extreme Martial Domain in their lifetime and remained ignorant of the Primal Chaos.
"Master, we are approaching the Extreme Martial Domain," Bai Lan pointed to the continent enveloped by the barrier like a giant egg, introducing it to Ye Ling. "The barrier of the Extreme Martial Domain is extremely sturdy; even the Overseers cannot break through it. However, with your strength, Master, you should be able to pass through it with ease."
Ye Ling expanded his divine soul, covering the Extreme Martial Domain and searching the entire continent.
"As expected, there's no trace of the Primal Martial King. He must have hidden himself through some method."
Ye Ling retracted his divine soul, not surprised by this investigative result.
The Primal Martial King had also escaped from the Overseers' seal. To evade their pursuit, he wouldn't openly appear in the Primal Chaos.
"Master, the Extreme Martial Domain, like the Time-Void Realm, is a special place. Spiritual energy cannot be used within it. Even the most powerful individuals cannot fly or burrow through the earth. Everyone relies more on martial skills and physical strength."
"The way you describe it, the Extreme Martial Domain truly resembles a low-level martial plane," Ye Ling chuckled.
"It does indeed resemble a low-level martial plane," Bai Lan nodded slightly. "However, the powerhouses within the Extreme Martial Domain are no less formidable. During the War of the Seven Kings, there were many individuals in the Extreme Martial Domain who could shatter an Overseer with a single punch."
"After so many years, no one knows how many powerhouses are hidden within the Extreme Martial Domain now."
"The more you say, the more curious I become about this Extreme Martial Domain. Let's go in and take a look," Ye Ling chuckled. Without choosing to break the barrier of the Extreme Martial Domain, he activated the Myriad Worlds Insight and quietly slipped into the Extreme Martial Domain with Bai Lan.
Extreme Martial Domain, Western Territory of the Martial Dynasty.
A border town.
As soon as Ye Ling and Bai Lan arrived at this border town, they heard thunderous cheers erupting from the center of the town.
"What's happening?" Bai Lan, hearing the cheers, couldn't help but curiously look in the direction of the sound.
"We'll know if we go take a look?"
Ye Ling, upon arriving in a new world, also carried a basic curiosity about it. He quickly walked towards the center of the town.
At this moment, a stage was erected in the center of the small town, surrounded by an impenetrable crowd.
A woman in tight-fitting attire stood in the center of the stage, sending a two-meter-tall burly man flying with a single palm strike, eliciting another wave of cheers from the audience.
"How lively!"
Bai Lan, looking at the bustling scene, felt a playful urge. "I wonder what they are doing?"
"We'll know if we ask?"
Ye Ling chuckled, his divine soul covering the crowd. After learning the language of the Martial Dynasty, he asked an old man in plain clothes at the edge of the crowd, "Old sir, what is happening here? Why is it so lively?"
"I don't know either; I'm just here to join the fun," the old man in plain clothes replied, his cloudy eyes fixed on the heroic woman on the stage who was no less capable than any man, occasionally cheering along.
Seeing this, Ye Ling didn't want to disturb him further and turned to ask a few more people. However, without exception, everyone was just there to join the fun and had no idea what was happening.
The people in the Extreme Martial Domain were very fond of martial arts. Even farmers would know a few martial skills. For the people of the Extreme Martial Domain, fighting was the best form of entertainment during their leisure time.
Now that a heroic woman was holding a challenge in the city, defeating many skilled fighters, it naturally attracted attention.
Bai Lan, looking at the glorious heroic woman on the stage, said to Ye Ling, "Master, why don't you go up and challenge?"
"What would I go up for?" Ye Ling was taken aback.
Bai Lan smiled, "Master, don't forget our purpose for coming here... We want to lure out the Primal Martial King, and to do that, we need to become the number one in the world."
"Now that someone is challenging and defeating everyone, this is a great opportunity for you, Master, to make a name for yourself!"
"That's true..."
Ye Ling nodded slightly and looked at the stage. He saw that the heroic woman had once again sent a swordsman flying with a palm strike.
"Who else dares to fight!"
After defeating the swordsman, the heroic woman shouted loudly to the crowd below, her voice containing a unique energy that instantly intimidated everyone.
"I am Cang Mo Swordsman Wang Li Ren, and I request a battle!"
